Abstract

A thermal test target with a uniform surface temperature which can be used to characterize and measure thermal image degradation due to atmospheric propagation of the image radiation field. This thermal test target board produces very uniform spatial frequency patterns with near perfect transitions between hot and cold portions which do not change during the diurnal cycle and which are not impacted by environmental changes.
